About Honeymoon Destinations in Maine
Maine is the perfect location for a special honeymoon getaway. Our lakes, mountains, and coastline are filled with romantic lodging, historic inns, and beachside resorts — all providing the perfect getaways for couples.
Lake & Mountain Honeymoon Lodging
Maine’s lakes and mountains provide secluded hideaways for couples to relax and enjoy the fresh Maine air. Lakeside resorts offer couples the chance to lounge by clean clear freshwater, take a walk along the shores and docks, and catch some rays.
Boating excursions and paddling canoes, kayaks, or SUPs are romantic ways to spend peaceful time together on the water. If you’re into fishing, Maine lakes are a great place to catch and release bass, trout, or perch. If you’re up for adventure, a hike up one of Maine’s many mountains provides breathtaking, scenic views.
Honeymoon Lodging on the Coast
If you want a more lively setting, coastal resorts offer all the beauty and fun of Maine’s many beaches with a full range of services. Whether you are looking to relax in the sand and soak up some sun, trying to catch some waves in the Atlantic surf, or indulging in room service on your ocean-view balcony, Maine resorts have it all.
Located in fun seaside towns with great dining, shopping, and nightlife, many Maine resorts are on the beach and offer private suites and spa services for couples. Quaint bed and breakfasts and beautifully refurbished Old Victorian inns offer more intimate privacy.
And, couples can enjoy boutique shopping and romantic seafood dinners at one of Maine’s finest restaurants. Coastal towns are also the perfect setting to watch the sunset from a chartered windjammer or schooner or take a walk along the rocky coast.
